Yes, but you still have the problem of the conflict resolution. First,
this doesnt work if files are changed on both sides. Which to chose? And
with a "real" sync app versus a file sync app it would present the
contents of the conflicted data side by side and asking you what to do.
And I am not talking about pure raw file contents but with a real user
interface the presents contacts like contacts and calendar data as
calendar data. Of course everything can be done using text diffs but
then you are not on eye level with iPhone et al.
